I did my air law 3 days ago. I passed too and used a very similar revision technique. It is what it is. The tricky thing is that the caa keeps randomly dropping in new questions at will.
From a pure knowledge perspective the random dropping of questions ensures people have a good understanding of the subject. What I don't like is the terrible wording of some of the questions.
@@simoncourtney1592 Indeed. So its a good thing overall knowledge wise. I still have one exam left to do, but been busy at work, and lessons being cancelled due to weather has dulled the enthusiasm for study.
These were the first two exams I did, so the format was also new in terms of knowing fully what to expect, so future exams I felt a little better prepared. As you can see in the video, I got 3 wrong on each exam and covered these areas based on the limited information you get.
Hi, I'm about to restart my PPL from scratch next month but I'm going to be doing it full time this time. what revision techniques did you use when reading the first book, did you take notes or did you just read through it? I am 100 pages in on book one but I find it very overwhelming and can't remember most of it. Cheers -jon
I make notes on little bits of card, I give some examples of this in my other exam videos. Using EasyPPL certainly made things easier for me, and tweaking my notes based on the test exam questions in EasyPPL.
Hi what's your objective for your PPL license when you get it? Are you planning to go further and get more advanced and professional licenses? Are you going to buy a plane?
I doubt very much I will buy a plane, but might look to get a share in one if I can find a like minded group of people. I plan to do my instrument rating and my night rating. I am tempted to become a flight instructor, but it seems you need your commercial license for that, and thats alot of ££££££. So will probably end up being for pleasure.
@@SpectrumGeeks Thanks for sharing man. At a guess, it's going to cost c. £12000 to get it so no small money. I started microlight training years ago, another time diving, another time learning golf properly and each time realised these are very very expensive hobbies and won't lead to a revenue stream to support the sport so stopped. I think a kind of timeshare with a few people will work well. Best wishes and god bless
@@soundslight7754 Yeah I am under no illusion it is going to be expensive hobby, and I am determined to make use of the license once I get it. Regardless, its been a life dream, and the experience and enjoyment of challenging myself to learn something new is worth it also.
Assuming you are here in the UK, you need to log in to the CAA portal (portal.caa.co.uk/), and from the "Your Services" menu, you need to sign up for "Private Pilot Theoretical Knowledge e-Exams". Once this is done your local training / exam centre can book your air law exam (your instructor should be able to help you with this).

@@SpectrumGeeks yeah exactly. It becomes a reading comprehension. What people used to do is just learn the question banks.

Well done for passing. You're making me nervous right now! 75% is 12/16 so there must have been 4 wrong.
These were the first two exams I did, so the format was also new in terms of knowing fully what to expect, so future exams I felt a little better prepared.
As you can see in the video, I got 3 wrong on each exam and covered these areas based on the limited information you get.
Well Done a pass is a pass 👍
Many thanks :)
